Venti Quick TL;DR Support Build Guide

PSA #1: Support’s job is to make DPS’ job much easier. Pretty much the wing man of the team if juicy damage numbers were a lady
PSA #2: Both Venti’s abilities scale off ATK. This is what you can, and should, see when you slap on some damage

You generally don’t ever want to hold E. Tapping E is much more spammable and great for energy regeneration

IMPORTANT TIP: YOU CAN ANIMATION CANCEL E BY NORMAL ATTACKING IMMEDIATELY AFTER IT CASTS FOR FREE DAMAGE
Tap E: will create the current in front of you, targeting an enemy and has a shorter CD (much better to use!)
Hold E: will create the current directly under you, throwing you into the air and has a longer CD
BOTH variations will still cause Swirl procs, BUT IT DOESN’T LAST TOO LONG, so make sure you use them AFTER a consistent elemental skill has been activated (like Fischl E, Xiangling E, Kaeya ult, etc…)

The Q can enhance the elemental DMG of whatever element gets infused, but it’s not very picky on what it picks up. This means if you Q an enemy with an element infused (for instance slimes), the Q will most likely be infused with that element rather than the one you want to add.
A great way to prevent this is to apply your element first BEFORE using Venti Q. This isn’t a surefire method, but it’s more consistent than just simply gambling

What this means is 1) Venti’s Q is actually a 45 cost burst and 2) your team member who proc’s the infused swirl gets 15 energy
PSA #3: While you should be trying to cause elemental reactions whenever you can with Venti, SAVE THEM FOR HIS ULTIMATE. His ultimate serves as not only (probably the best) CC in the game, but also a damage buffer! Also his ultimate is extremely spammable, so use it whenever its up
Talent Leveling Order: E > Q > Normal
WEAPON #1 (Recommended for category 5 hurricanes): The Stringless
How do I get it D: ? – It’s time to roll boys (gacha)

The burst DMG bonus also affects the constant slashing anemo damage in the Q
WEAPON #2 (Recommended for spamming Q): Favonius Warbow
How do I get it D: ? – It’s time to roll boys (gacha)

Sacrificial Bow works as well, but at higher CRIT%/refinement Favonius Warbow is an actual energy machine
If you have Viridescent Hunt (BP Bow), it’s also a great alternative if you don’t have either of the recommended weapons
ARTIFACT #1 (Recommended for high DPS): Viridescent Venerer
How do I get it D: ? – Valley of Remembrance Domain (AR 30 locked, 20 Resin per run)

This is the only time I will ever say that this artifact set is ABSOLUTELY necessary to turn Venti into a late-game face puncher. Literally you will have a “how it feels to chew 5 gum” moment when you try this set out.
ARTIFACT #2 (Recommended for early winds): Instructor
How do I get it D: ? – Confront Stormterror Domain (60 Resin per run) or you can steal some chests

You can run a combination 2-set Exile + 2-set Scholar for even faster ultimate charge. Or, if you are able to farm for it, Noblesse Oblige/Wanderer’s Troupe sets works just as well!
